Makeup, life, and random thoughts

Do you see what happens when you read beauty blogs in your spare time? Yowzah! It looks like the Buxom Babes are up to it again, developing new products so we just can’t say no (or wait for a sale).

Recently, I’ve fallen in love with Buxom (A Bare Escentuals Brand) Stay There Eyeshadows, a dry cream formula with high shine that “stays put”. You are probably already aware of my obsession with Buxom lip glosses. I might not have them all, but I love them and wear them every day (and night, much to the joy of my significant other).

Now, they creative team behind the brand has come up a new lip product: Buxom Lip Tarnish Plumping & Moisturizing Lip Stains. These will be available exclusively at Sephora (as all the Buxom line will be) and are initially priced at $18 with four color selections. I would bet that in BE Buxom tradition, a smaller version will be available as a set for holiday gift giving. These little beauties promise to treat your lips royally by tinting them, giving them shine, hydrating them, and well…plumping them. It IS a Buxom lip product after all!

It’s no secret, I love purple! Today’s look it a bit sparkly because I’m going out to dinner, and I was in my pjs today working from home.

Benefit Primed & Poreless Primer

BE Matte Foundation in Golden Fair

NARS Illuminizer in Orgasm. I just got this in a Beauty.com haul, and I love the way it’s true to the Orgasm color, but adds a nice rosy glow. I used it to highlight my cheekbones and around the eye socket.

BE Glee as blush

Two Face Shadow Insurance in Candlelit

BE Nude Beach patted all over lid and used to blend

BE Water Lily on outer 1/3 of lid

BE Midnight Diamond wetlined

Buxom Mascara (2 coats)

I needed a little more oomph so I added Myth in the crease, and patted more Water Lily in the middle of my lid
